He made a joke in poor taste about his own wife. Not like he advocated raping strangers. Not like he advocated raping his own wife, it was a poor joke. It was meant in a self-deprecating manor.
Jesus people, let a bad joke go. I’m quite sure he hates himself for it and is quite regretful. Or shall we beat his ass more?
When conservatives talk “cancel culture”, this is the kinda thing they point to. Don’t feed them ammo.
[I like to defend Spousal Abuse, and think we should just let it go]
There. fixed that for you. It’s a non-zero chance that it really was “just a joke”, and even if it was, jokes about abusing your spouse… is never appropriate. Would you find “The secret to a long marriage, I beat my wife so she’s too scared to leave” funny? I doubt it. Because it’s downright awful.
The fact that he thinks it’s okay to joke about this- to women- in a nominally public, government function… makes me wonder he does in private.
He’s a Tory. I very much doubt he feels bad about the joke, more likely just feels bad that he got caught. Last month in parliament if you believe his accuser he called a constituency a shit hole and if you believe his defence he called a fellow MP a shit hole.

He’s a Tory politician. He wouldn’t hate himself for selling his mom for an extra year of shitting on poor people and immigrants. He definitely doesn’t hate himself for this.
He hates that he was called out for it, but that’s it.
